get refreshed at ye olde bell hotel and spa

Located just four miles from Retford, the seventeenth century building is the perfect place to relax, unwind and start afresh.

The Fare Thee Forward's team has designed this wonderful three-day package, especially for those seeking to step away from the nine-to-five grind and re-inspire themselves.

Our program promotes mental focus, inner calm and a chance to soul search, equipping you with tools to make 2018 your best year yet, a representative from Fare Thee Forward explains. During this weekend you will start to feel inspired by your daily meditation practice, learn the importance of sleep, hydration and affirmation, and create a positive mindset to move your life forward.

The two-night, full board luxury stay runs from Friday 23 until Sunday 25 February and includes a plethora of workshops, classes and seminars with the aim to invigorate and reawaken participants.

Tasty and nutritious food is provided throughout your stay, alongside two guided meditations and a session on mindfulness led by a Buddhist monk. Talks are also held on the importance of sleep, diet, hydration, stress and visualisation. Speakers explore the common pitfalls of our hectic, modern lifestyles such as sleep deprivation, poor nutrition and the inability to set achievable goals.

Each of our experts approaches their subjects from a scientific perspective. Our friend, the Buddhist monk, has a background that is fascinating and insightful, and his lessons crossover for the traditional western lifestyle as he shares aspects of his practice.

Meanwhile, inclusive yoga classes allow you to discover the power of stretching your body.

The weekend ends with a visualisation workshop, where you will create your own vision board on your goals for the new year and beyond.

On top of this, an essential oils expert guides you through this intriguing topic, introducing you to new aromas and plants that can improve your mood and life. You can even take home your own apothecary product after creating it to suit your needs with an experienced herbalist.

Afterwards, why not enjoy the fantastic facilities at Ye Olde Bell?

We have an award-winning, state-of-the-art spa onsite and have negotiated a special rate for Sunday afternoon.

The contemporary space is the ideal spot for this wellness retreat. Whilst possessing tons of history and character, the building also incorporates modern comforts to ensure a much-needed escape from the stresses of everyday life.

A good night's sleep is guaranteed thanks to crisp white linens and deep down duvets. In the meantime, you can chill out in front of a roaring log fire after a mouthwatering meal at the AA Rosette Restaurant and Bistro.
